  Event ends About Ise Shine Known internationally as Ise Shrine\, Ise Jing
 u (officially ‘Jingu’) includes 125 jinja (Shinto shrines)\, centred a
 round the inner Kotaijingu Shrine (Naiku) dedicated to Amaterasu-Omikami\,
  and the outer Toyo’uke-daijingu Shrine (Geku) dedicated to Toyo’uke-n
 o-Omikami. Its area is roughly the same size as downtown Paris. More than 
 1\,500 rituals are conducted here every year to pray for the prosperity of
  the Imperial family\, the peace of the world\, and a bountiful harvest. H
 istory Amaterasu-Omikami was originally worshipped in the Imperial Palace 
 by successive Emperors of Japan. However\, during the reign of the 10th Em
 peror Sujin\, the Holy Mirror (the symbol of Amaterasu-Omikami) was ordere
 d to be removed from the Imperial Palace. During the reign of the 11th Emp
 eror Suinin\, 2\,000 years ago\, the Emperor ordered his princess\, Yamato
 hime-no-mikoto\, to seek the most appropriate place to permanently enshrin
 e and worship Amaterasu-Omikami. Following a long search\, travelling acro
 ss many regions\, the princess received a revelation that Amaterasu-Omikam
 i should be enshrined and worshipped eternally in Ise. 500 years later\, u
 nder the 21st Emperor Yuryaku\, Toyo’uke-no-Omikami was also summoned\, 
 from the north of Kyoto prefecture and enshrined in Ise\, in accordance wi
 th another revelation from Amaterasu-Omikami.
